Who will replace Jon Stewart on The Daily Show? Crumbs!

Jon Stewart's replacement: Six better ideas?

Tuesday's announcement that Jon Stewart, the first news anchor anyone under 30 would name if asked, would be taking a break from The Daily Show for three months led to an obvious question: Who will replace him?

I asked the Internet even though Comedy Central had already announced who it would be.

The show's selection was greeted with grins in some quarters. But the Internet had other ideas, too.

1

Arsenio Hall

Took politics and late-night television to the next level.

2

Craig Kilborn

The original host of The Daily Show and choice of @jherr555.

3

Marc Maron

Comedian and WTF podcast host, suggested by @ninagarin.

4

Kevin Nealon

SNL cast member from 1986 to 1995, suggested by @EvanSDlabor.

5

Norm McDonald

@EvanSDlabor's top suggestion. He told me, "I vote Norm, but I think he is an acquired taste and won't have broad appeal."

6

Jason Jones

A Canadian actor and current correspondent on The Daily Show and suggestion from @ThadCollins.

John Oliver

The actual replacement host. The Daily Show's senior British correspondent. Do you have a better suggestion? Write it below in the comments section.
